Date: Mon, Dec 15, 2025 | 05:56 PM GMT

Aster, the multi-chain decentralized perpetual and spot trading exchange, has released its latest weekly update on the ongoing Stage 4 buyback program for its native $ASTER token. During the period from December 8 to 14, the platform spent approximately 28 million USDT to repurchase 29,312,363.34 $ASTER tokens from the open market.

The average repurchase price stood at $0.95 per token, aligning closely with recent market levels amid ongoing volatility in the broader cryptocurrency sector.

All buyback transactions were executed through the designated on-chain wallet address: 0x573ca9FF6b7f164dfF513077850d5CD796006fF4. Aster emphasized that the process remains fully transparent, with every transaction verifiable on the blockchain, allowing community members and observers to audit activities in real-time

This weekly activity forms part of Aster’s accelerated Stage 4 buyback initiative, which began earlier in December and targets significant daily repurchases—previously reported at around $4 million per day—to support token value and reduce circulating supply. The program allocates a substantial portion of protocol fees toward repurchases, continuing a strategy that has seen prior stages result in large-scale burns and allocations for community airdrops.

As of today, $ASTER is trading near $0.83, with the buyback efforts aimed at providing structural support during a period of token unlocks and market consolidation. Aster’s platform, known for features like MEV-resistant trading, high-leverage perpetuals on crypto and U.S. stocks, and yield-bearing collateral options, continues to emphasize long-term tokenomics sustainability through revenue-driven repurchases.

The decentralized exchange has positioned these buybacks as a key mechanism to align protocol growth with holder interests, building on previous seasons that collectively removed hundreds of millions of tokens from circulation.

Community members are encouraged to monitor the buyback wallet for ongoing updates, as Aster plans to maintain regular reporting on its repurchase activities.
